Gautama Buddha

As long as one feels that he is the doer, he cannot escape from the wheel of births.

Buddha

Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.

Buddha

Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.

Buddha

Before you’ve seen it, and when you first see it, it is the greatest thing; afterwards, it is ordinary.

Buddha

Being able to make friends and keep them, welcoming others and sharing with them, a guide, philosopher and friend. One like this will be praised.

Buddha

Being deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and using well spoken words; This is good luck.

Buddha

Being generous and kindly in speech, doing a good turn for others, and treating all alike. One like this will be praised.

Buddha

Being generous, just helping one’s relatives and being blameless in one’s actions; this is the best good luck.

Buddha

Believe nothing because it is written in books. Believe nothing because wise men say it is so. Believe nothing because it is religious doctrine. Believe it only because you yourself know it to be true.

Buddha

Besides the respect of the lives of human beings, all the animals and plants should be on the list too. That is the real humanitarianism.

Buddha
